HBO president Casey Bloys fielded may questions Wednesday at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

“There are very, very few downsides to having a hugely popular show,” Bloys said to reporters of Game of Thrones, “but one I can think of is when you try to end it, many peole have big opinions on how these characters’ stories should come to an end.”

For most of its run, Game of Thrones has enjoyed support from both critics and fans, but many were split right down the middle over many storytelling choices during the final season.

But most of the backlash was aimed at showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, and one fan thought it was a good idea to create a Change.org petition to have the final season be remade "with competent writers."

However, reshooting Season 8 was "not something we seriously considered."

The showrunners have yet to make any public appearances in support of the show since the divisive series finale, and even decided against appearing at the show's last-ever San Diego Comic-Con panel.

Boys went on to chat about the emmy nominations, with one person asking if the amount of nominations helped soften the blow.

“Thirty-two Emmy nominations is certainly nice validation,” he said.

Big Little Lies, which wrapped on Sunday has also been in the media for the wrong reasons. It was recently reported that Big Little Lies Season 2 director, Andrea Arnold lost all creative input on the hit drama after production was completed.

“I would say never say never, [but]… on the face of it, there’s no obvious place to go, no obvious story,” Bloys told reporters.

“That said, it’s an extraordinary group actors and producers and writers and directors, so if they all came to me and said, ‘We have the greatest take — listen to this!” I would certainly be open to it.”

Finally, HBO also revealed when the long-delayed final season of Silicon Valley will get underway and there's not long to wait.
